It's Not Always Sunny in Philadelphia

So THAT must be what it feels like to get simultaneously puked on and tasered in Philadelphia. By our count, the Nats got swept over the weekend. Despite what the box score says, we just can't count Saturday night in the win column, sandwiched between losses Friday and Sunday.

Regardless of what the Nats decide to do with Strasburg for the rest of the season, the only guarantee seems to be that every single Strasburg start going forward -- until who knows when? -- will be met with trepidation in NatsTown. Hopefully the next chance comes Thursday, when Bryce Harper gets introduced at Nationals Park.
